Telechat Review of draft-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint-06
review-ietf-jose-jwk-thumbprint-06-genart-telechat-halpern-2015-09-11-00

The document is nearly ready for publication as a Proposed Standard.



Upon  re-review, the addition of section 3.4 raises a question of 


clarity.  As written, the text says that the hash function matters only 


to the original thumbprint provider.  Should there be a little bit of 


text talking about the need for the hash function to be the same for 


thumbprints to be comparable, or, phrased alternatively, that 


thumbprints with different hashes must not be compared?  If there were 


no need for consistent production of the thumbprint, there would be no 


need for a Proposed Standard for the document.




Yours,
Joel

The new section 3.4
